To be 100% honest I feel like there are a lot of people jumping the gun on the whole Christmas thing. I’m seeing a lot of photos on facebook of Christmas trees and the Thanksgiving turkey is still frozen!

That being said, I talked to Hubs today about getting the Christmas lights put up on our barn. We did it one year and the neighbors loved it, we thought we might skip it the next year, we were busy, we didn’t have time to get the lights up. You know, things and stuff, it happens… December 1st our phone started to ring, it was the neighbors. They wanted to know when the lights were going on.

I guess that might be how tradition starts right? Coercion and guilt trips from your neighbors. Anyways, lights on our barn is now a tradition. As is the non-OSHA approved method of hanging the lights. Can you say Hubs in the skidloader bucket while I drive? He always seems to suck up a lot just before we do the lights.

This is much prettier in person. I guess it’s hard to get a good photo of the feeling that Christmas lights give you.

So back to the two booted feet thing…. I get to hold a contest for you guys! Country Outfitters gave me the hook up and I get to give one of you a $100 gift certificate for a pair of boots from Country Outfitters!

AND… Yes I said and…

Someone is going to win boots for a YEAR! Seriously, a new pair of Ariat boots every month for an entire year. That’s awesome.

And for those of you who don’t do the crowds and lines and chaos of Black Friday shopping but still love a good deal, check out the special deals Country Outfitters is offering online on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Just when I thought I was having a bad day and didn’t think any more news would be good news. New boots (or the possibility of free boots ) makes a smile show up on my face. I may have to visit grandpa and my dad in the hospital soon, but at least I might be able to strut my boots! Gosh I love new boots!!! I’m going shopping ( more like wishful thinking ) #corralgirl

Thanks for the link. I plan to be heading to their website on Black Friday. I will be picking up a pair of boots for me and a pair to give my teenage daughter at Christmas.
